School has officially started. Here's a synopsis of my week:
Monday
Opening Ceremony in Segovia, Spain. We were bussed out to Segovia to a university that IE just bought (that is in a 15th century monastery). We did a quick walking tour of Segovia that wasn't nearly enough to see all of Segovia. We return back to Madrid by 9pm and some of us already have homework.
Tuesday - Friday schedule
9am - 2pm: 3 sessions of classes (depends on the day- Strategic Communication, Organizational Behaviors, Quantitative Analysis, Financial Accounting, Entrepeneurship, Marketing)
2pm - 3pm: Workgroup session
After 3pm -- study on my own
Now that it's Friday, I am realizing that I better study a good 8 hours this weekend. I already studied about 4 hours today and tomorrow will be another 4 hours, and then Sunday I will cram whatever else I need to prepare for Monday. Next week will be a "real" week in the sense that all 5 days will be devoted to class and I will have homework for every day. I won't have the luxury of a Segovia tour on a Monday so I'm preparing myself mentally for less sleep. OLE.
Hang in there and remember to take a break for 20 minutes every 2 hours so your mind can better absorb.....honest.
